The operation of a lock-in amplifier relies on the orthogonality of sinusoidal functions.Specifically, when a sinusoidal function of frequency f 1 is multiplied by a sinusoidal function of another frequency f 2 and integrated over a time much longer than the period of the two functions, the result is close to zero.
A frequency spectrum plot showing intermodulation between two injected signals at 270 and 275 MHz (the large spikes). Visible intermodulation products are seen as small spurs at 280 MHz and 265 MHz. 3rd order intermodulation products (D3 and D4) are the result of nonlinear behavior of an amplifier.
The frequency halfway between the stop and start frequencies on a spectrum analyzer display is known as the center frequency. This is the frequency that is in the middle of the display's frequency axis. Span specifies the range between the start and stop frequencies. These two parameters allow for adjustment of the display within the frequency ...
If the frequency deviation is held constant and the modulation frequency increased, the spacing between spectra increases. Frequency modulation can be classified as narrowband if the change in the carrier frequency is about the same as the signal frequency, or as wideband if the change in the carrier frequency is much higher (modulation index ...
Paul Voigt patented a negative feedback amplifier in January 1924, though his theory lacked detail. [4] Harold Stephen Black independently invented the negative-feedback amplifier while he was a passenger on the Lackawanna Ferry (from Hoboken Terminal to Manhattan) on his way to work at Bell Laboratories (located in Manhattan instead of New Jersey in 1927) on August 2, 1927 [5] (US Patent ...
However, the greater frequency difference between the wanted and unwanted signal makes out-of-band intermodulation products relatively easy to remove with filters. [ 15 ] Just as two tones provide a more realistic test than a single tone, multi-tone testing can be used to even better simulate the behaviour of a real signal.
Unless θ (t) is a constant, the point in time t s at which the phase is stationary will vary according to the instantaneous frequency ω s. Expressing the difference between (ω s-ω 0).t and θ (t) as a Taylor series about the time t s, but discarding all but the first three terms (of which the second term is zero, here), the Fourier integral ...
SASERs could have wide applications. Apart from facilitating the investigation of terahertz-frequency ultrasound, the SASER is also likely to find uses in optoelectronics (electronic devices that detect and control light—as a method of transmitting a signal from an end to the other of, for instance, fiber optics), as a method of signal modulation and/or transmission.
